Power Steering Fluid lLeak

[Don]

I have a 2002 Cadillac Deville. I have a power steering fluid leak. Are there any known trouble spots that I can check for leaks?

i would first check lines and fittings. you may have to feel around the pump and lines if you cant see it. Also check the gearbox/rack, whichever you have. I had an incident with my old truck when the bottom seal on the gearbox came out and was spitting out fluid.

Sorry to be blunt but the power steering system on those cars were weak everywhere. Anything related is suspect.

I agree 100% with this post. I remember the high pressure line for this car was 275 which is ridiculous. I would let it leak, depending on how bad it is. I knew a place that was able to repair broken power steering hoses.
